Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The PLL just keeps getting bigger.

The league announced Thursday that it added 17 more players to the pool of now 157 for the inaugural season. Included in the new list were former MLL stars Eric Law, Miles Thompson and Jeremy Thompson.

Also, NLL top draft pick Austin Staats will give it a go in the newly founded PLL. Read up on the full list of additions to the player pool.

2. Tehoka Nanticoke is in the process of re-enrolling at Albany and should rejoin the Great Danes program in January, coach Scott Marr told Lax Sports Network.

Nanticoke, the freshman phenom who scored 50 goals and added 32 assists last season, left the team this fall for personal reasons. If he rejoins the team, he’ll be the top offensive weapon after Connor Fields departed following the 2018 season.

3. The NLL is almost back, and that means it’s time to predict the end-of-year award winners.

Jack Goods weighs in on whether Mark Matthews can repeat as MVP, and if No. 1 pick Austin Staats will be the top rookie in the league this season.

Also according to Goods, Calgary Roughnecks stars Curtis Dickson and Wes Berg have not come to terms on a deal with the team.

4. The Dave Huntley Pro Night commenced in Baltimore ahead of the IMLCA Convention this weekend. The Huntley family attended the special night, which included presentations from Rob Pannell, Greg Gurenlian and John Galloway.
